On the first appearance Our Blessed Mother told Sister Pierrina that She
wanted to be known as the 'Mystical Rose' and that an Hour of Grace should
be kept at noon on December 8th in all the Catholic Churches of the world. Our
Blessed Mother wanted this to be known through all of Italy and the entire
world.

It was November 16, 1947 when Sister Pierrina was finishing her thanksgiving
after Holy Communion when she saw a great light. She then saw a vision of
Our Blessed Mother as the 'Mystical Rose.'

Sister was so deeply moved by the stunning beauty of Our Lady that she began talking to Her.

"My Son is greatly
offended by the sins of impurity. He is already planning to send the deluge
upon the people, for their destruction, but I have asked him to show mercy
and not send the destruction. So that is why I have appeared to ask for
penance and atonement for the sins of impurity."

Then Our Blessed Mother asked for an Act of Humility by Sister Pierrina. She
asked her to make the sign of the cross with her tongue on each of the
stones in the Sanctuary.

"This shall be a reminder to the people that I have
appeared here and do not have the people step on those stones."

Our Blessed Mother then stepped on each of the stones so that Her gown
touched all four stones.

On the 22nd of November, Sister Pierrina felt the overwhelming urge to go to Church at 4:00.

The Mother Superior, four Sisters and a group of friends accompanied her.
They were all saying the Rosary when Our Blessed Mother appeared as before.

She instructed Sister Pierrina to make the Sign of the Cross on the stones
and fence them off so that no one would step on them.

The Sister asked how she was
to prepare for this Hour of Grace? To which the Blessed Mother said

"With Prayers and Penance. Pray the 51st Psalm with outstretched arms three times.
During the Hour of Grace, many spiritual graces will be granted. The most
hard-hearted sinners will be touched by the grace of God."

The Blessed Virgin promised that whatever a person asked Her for during this
Hour of Grace (even in impossible cases) would be granted to them,
if it was in accordance with the Will of the Eternal Father.

It was December 7th when Sister Pierrina felt the urge to go to Church.
This time she was accompanied by the Priest and the Mother Superior.

Our Blessed Mother appeared with a young boy and girl dressed in beautiful white clothing.
Sister Pierrina was sure these little ones were angels
because they were so beautiful.

"Tomorrow I will show you My Immaculate Heart which is so little known among the people."

She asked people to pray for Russia.

"There are so many people being held prisoners which their families know
nothing of because they have been gone for so many years. Pray for the
conversion of Russia, the suffering of the soldiers and their sacrifices and
martyrdom will bring peace to Italy.

The little children are Francisco and Jacinta. I am giving them to you as
your companions. You will have much to suffer for My sake.
I want simplicity
and goodness from you as of these little children."

Our Blessed Mother then blessed Sister Pierrina, the Priest and all those who were gathered there.

On the morning of December 8th people began arriving at the little Church
at 8:00 in the morning from neighboring towns.
By noon, some 10,000 people had gathered to see Our Blessed Mother,
many of whom had to stand outside because the Church
did not have enough room for the large crowd.

Sister Pierrina was accompanied to Church by her Mother and Brothers,
the Mother Superior and the Chief of Police from Montichiari.
Sister was reciting the Rosary with the crowd in the middle of the Church.

Suddenly a brilliant white light appeared from the ceiling.
Stairs were coming from the light down to the floor of the Church about fifteen feet in length.

The Blessed Virgin appeared so radiant, dressed in white, with Her Hands folded.
She was standing on a splendid carpet at the top of the stairs made
of the red, white and yellow roses.

"I am the Immaculate Conception, the Mother of all Graces and the Mother of my Beloved Son, Jesus.

I wish to be known as The Mystical Rose.
My wish is that every year on the 8th of December at noon an 'Hour of Grace' will be installed.
Many spiritual Graces and physical blessings will be received
by those who pray undisturbed during this hour."

Then slowly she began to ascend the staircase gracefully scattering roses as
She went along until She reached midway of the staircase.

Sister Pierrina asked for many of the sinners to be forgiven. Our Blessed Mother replied

"My Divine Son will show His Greatest Mercy as much as the people will pray for them.

Tell him I want him to install the 'Hour of Grace' throughout the whole world
and those who are not able to go to Church during this time,
may obtain this Grace in their homes at noon time."

She also asked that a Statue be made and placed on the spot where She stood.
This should be called the 'Rosa Mystica' and carried in procession through the town
at which time many Graces will be given and cures will take place.

Then the Statue is to be returned to the Church.

Our Lady prayed for the sick, some will be cured others not.
Many men, women and children were cured at that very instant.

A twenty-six year old woman who could not say a word for nine months, suddenly began shouting
"I see Her. I see the Blessed Virgin."

There were three others who were very sick and were immediately cured.
But of course, the greatest miracles taking place were those of the spiritual blessings
being shed upon the people gathered in the Church.

"This is the last time I will appear here.
Pray, weep and do penance on these Stones and you will receive the care of My Motherly Heart."

She then left the little Church, but because of the Unending Love of Our Heavenly Mother,
She has given us the 'Hour of Grace'to be spread through the entire world.
She had given all people the opportunity to demonstrate our love and trust to Her
and to help make reparation for the grievous sins offending Her Beloved Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ.
